FWIW...i always did all of the outside work and to her credit W would always say something like "the grass/yard looks nice". i would cook from time to time, vacuum, dishes...from every girl I dated, laundry was off limits. again to W's credit she would thank me. the ONLY time she ever stated what i was doing attracted her was like real manual labor outside, mowing the yard wasn't enough. don't feel like there was much more i could have done, but perhaps in her mind there was. i never felt beta like/domesticated/ngs/whatever...in fact i felt that was being very alpha, doing what the H needed to be done around the house....the rub i think really was more when i felt something needed to be done vs when she felt it needed to be done...just my .02
